Team Lead - Visual Arts

We Want To Change The World. We Believe It Starts With Education.

In India, 100 million children from low-income communities grow up without access to the 21st-century skills they need to thrive — from emotional intelligence and digital literacy to everyday money management. This gap leads to a lifetime of limited opportunity, intergenerational poverty, and rising mental health concerns.

At The Apprentice Project (TAP), we're building India's boldest bet on education equity — an AI-powered learning buddy that helps thousands of government school students unlock 21st-century skills. We don't just teach coding or financial literacy — we spark self-confidence, creativity, and lifelong curiosity in children who've been told to "stay in their lane."

We're not looking for employees. We're looking for co-builders — people who want to create generational change, one student at a time.

We're looking for a Visual Arts practitioner who can also build curriculum — someone who is as comfortable in front of a camera demonstrating a painting technique as they are writing a lesson plan or reviewing student submissions. You'll own the Visual Arts vertical end-to-end: from designing activities and PBL experiences to producing instructional videos, reviewing student work, and continuously improving based on what the data tells you.

Visual Arts competency is non-negotiable from day one — but so is the ability to translate that competency into practical, engaging learning experiences for students across diverse schools and contexts.
